The bridge is approximately 2 miles long and features a sleek, modern design with large steel arches supporting the roadway. It is part of the M48 motorway, facilitating efficient transportation and trade between the two regions. The structure is renowned for its engineering and plays a crucial role in connecting the southwestern part of England with South Wales.
